Chapter 966: Sharp Teeth

readx;?genius one second to remember the network, to provide you with wonderful novel reading. The premise of agreeing to www.biquge.info garrison of Anton was that the Anton side agreed to temporarily shelve the dispute over the selection of the main officials of the Metropolitan Protectorate and the Metropolitan Protectorate. wβ–³la?net? Now Pei Shiju has come to Anton, and the task is to urge Anton to fulfill his promise to participate in the Third Eastern Crusade, but if he wants to achieve this goal, the content of the negotiation is Anton's autonomy, the core of which is military power, that is, the control of Anton's Han army, and the specific manifestation is that the main officials of Anton's metropolitan protectorate and the metropolitan protectorate's government are held by Anton's people or by the powerful people of the eastern capital.

Li Fengyun "struck first to be stronger", and under the pretext of opening up the territory, he directly demanded military power to Pei Shiju, and resolutely did not give up vested interests.

"You have the right to make this request, but you have no right to grant this request." Pei Shiju said bluntly, "Dongdu will definitely not raise tigers for trouble, bring disaster upon itself, and must find ways to contain and weaken Anton, so the premise of Dongdu's appeasement is that Anton must participate in the Third Eastern Crusade, and its purpose is to use the expedition to Goguryeo to consume Anton's strength, and finally achieve the goal of completely controlling Andong without bloodshed." From this goal, the Eastern Capital will inevitably use the Anton Protectorate to control Anton's military and political power to the greatest extent, and take advantage of the favorable opportunity of Anton's main expedition to attack the forces of all parties in Anton by various means such as clamping, restraint, discord, division, bribery, and killing. ”

Pei Shiju looked at Li Fengyun and said solemnly, "Dongdu is using Yangmou, you must come up with effective countermeasures, see the move, and turn the passive into the active, otherwise, you will be in great trouble." ”

Li Fengyun smiled. Pei Shiju's threat was useless.

Today, Anton has been incorporated into the territory of Middle-earth, at the critical moment when the Civil War is about to explode, Anton's importance to the Eastern Capital is self-evident, and politically speaking, after the Holy Lord and the center enjoy the huge benefits brought by the opening of Anton, then they have to stand in the "pit" of Anton and grit their teeth to support, and have to accept Anton's political blackmail, otherwise the front of the frontier will be lost, the Holy Lord and the center will lose face, and the authority that has been slightly restored will also fall again, this political consequence is too serious, the Holy Lord and the center can not afford it. wβ–³la?net?

Fortunately, Pei Shiju, who had just returned from his westward journey, became the "life-saving straw" of the Holy Lord and the center, so Pei Shiju was ordered to hurry to Anton, but Pei Shiju was in a dilemma, if he used his relationship with Li Pingyuan to persuade Anton to fulfill his promise, he not only fell into Li Pingyuan's trap, but also fell into the tricks of the Holy Lord and the reformers, and put a "political noose" on himself, on the contrary, if he compromised with Anton, accepted Anton's political blackmail, and met Anton's demand for autonomy, then he was equivalent to receiving it on behalf of the Holy Lord and the center, made a scapegoat in vain. Therefore, Pei Shiju can only see the moves, take one step, look at one step, and now in the face of Li Fengyun's pressing step by step, he is also at a loss.

"In this way, Ming Gong is neither sincere nor will he give any trust." Li Fengyun spread out his hands and made a helpless gesture, "Ming Gong plans to return empty-handed?" If you return without success, you will damage the reputation of the Ming public. ”

Pei Shiju also smiled, stretched out his hand to ask, and motioned for Li Fengyun to sit opposite him, "So-and-so said, you have to come up with countermeasures, effective countermeasures, not nonsense." ”

Li Fengyun bowed in thanks, but continued to stand, keeping a certain distance from Pei Shiju.

"Can Ming Gong have a clear return date?" Li Fengyun asked.

Pei Shiju thought for a while, shook his head, and after thinking for a while, he still shook his head very surely.

He did not have a clear return date, not because the Holy Lord and the Central Committee did not give clear instructions, but because the Holy Lord and the reformers were doing their best to push the Central Committee to make the decision of the Third Crusade, that is to say, the Holy Lord and the reformers were in full swing in the political crisis in the two capitals, but they could not and did not dare to compromise, fearing that the ruling power would be weakened or even deprived, and were unwilling to let the centralized reform stagnate or even regress, the only way was to transfer the contradictions, and to transfer the irresolvable contradictions at home by using foreign wars. Although he was forced by the predicament of internal and external troubles before the westward journey, he had to make a compromise with the Holy Lord and the reformers, but the Holy Lord and the reformers must have been worried that he would go back on his word and even secretly obstruct him, so they took the opportunity of comforting Anton to drive him out of the country, so as to prevent trouble before it happened and minimize resistance. From this, it is not difficult to imagine that even if Pei Shiju solved all of Anton's thorny problems in the shortest possible time, the Holy Lord and the Central Committee would try their best to delay or prevent him from returning to the palace.

"If the Holy Lord and the Central Committee make the decision of the Third Eastern Crusade in the near future, will the Ming Duke return to the Imperial Palace and obey the Holy Lord, or will he urge and supervise Anton's army to rush to the battlefield of the Eastern Crusade?" Li Fengyun asked again.

Pei Shiju replied quickly this time, "It should be the latter." ”

Li Fengyun's expression suddenly became solemn, "What does Ming Gong mean that the Holy Lord is going to conquer Goguryeo for the third time?" ”

Pei Shiju knows the Holy Lord very well, under the current situation, the possibility of the Holy Lord returning to the Eastern Capital is very small, because the Holy Lord is unwilling to give up the centralized reform and is unwilling to compromise with the conservatives, so there is no way to resolve the political crisis in the two capitals, in this case, the Holy Lord must be the third time to conquer Goguryeo, otherwise the Holy Lord would have returned to the Eastern Capital a few months ago, why stay in Gaoyang Palace for several months?

Pei Shiju sighed secretly, feeling depressed and indignant in his heart, he couldn't help but close his eyes and nodded slightly.

Guanzhong is in chaos, rebellious Xiang Haiming proclaims himself emperor, Xijing and Dongdu are completely torn faces, what can the holy lord do when he goes back in this predicament? People have killed enough, continue to kill, and kill the blood in Guanzhong, which will inevitably shake the foundation of the Guanlong aristocratic group, and the Guanlong aristocratic group is the foundation of the country, the foundation is shaken, the country is in danger, and the consequences are unimaginable.

In fact, the Holy Lord and the reformers missed the best opportunity to alleviate the political crisis in the two capitals. Yang Xuangan mutinied, Xijing did not respond, but took action to quell the rebellion, this is already regarded as supporting the Holy Lord, the Holy Lord should give back, should seize this opportunity to make a political compromise, what is the result? As a result, the Holy Lord did the opposite, acquiescing in and conniving at the reformist forces left behind in the Eastern Capital by Fan Zigai, the Imperial Historian Pei Yun, and the Criminal Department Shilang Guyi, and took advantage of the opportunity of the political liquidation of Yang Xuangan's sympathy to launch a frenzied attack on the conservative forces in Xijing, and wantonly killed conservative members. Of course, Xijing wanted to fight back, and the bright ones didn't come to the dark, so Guanzhong set off a tide of rebellion, and swarmed to Haiming, Tang Bi, Li Hongzhi and other thieves, and the wolf smoke swept Sanfu, giving the reformers a head-on blow, and quickly defeated the offensive of the reformists, but the magic box of division and war was opened, and the fire of rebellion burned with the momentum of a prairie fire, and the seriousness of the consequences can be imagined.

Li Fengyun pondered for a long time and asked cautiously, "Is there a way to stop the Holy Lord from driving the third expedition?" ”

Pei Shiju glanced at him and sighed gloomily, "Guanzhong is in chaos, Xijing is in an emergency, and Western Xinjiang is in the predicament of being attacked by the enemy on its back, such a serious situation, the Holy Lord refuses to return to the Eastern Capital, and still insists on the Third Eastern Crusade, it is not difficult to imagine the great determination of the Holy Lord." ”

"In this way, the domestic situation will be more severe and worsen this year, and after this message reaches the desert and the western soil, the alliance between the two Turkic tribes in the east and west will be faster, and the civil war will come sooner." Li Fengyun shook his head and said with a heavy expression, "If nothing else, in the summer and autumn of next year, the Civil War will definitely break out, and the two Turks in the east and west will definitely seize the favorable opportunity of exhaustion in the conquest of Middle-earth for many years and take the initiative to attack, while Middle-earth is not well prepared, and it is rushed to meet the battle, and the enemy is attacked on both fronts, and the chances of victory are very small. ”

Pei Shiju's expression changed slightly, his eyes were cold, and Pei Xuanji and the others were also secretly surprised, impressed by Li Fengyun's sharp teeth.

Li Fengyun pretended to make a gesture and said in a slightly exaggerated tone of surprise, "Did the Holy Lord and the Central Center seriously underestimate the predicament of today's internal and external troubles, or did they ignore it? Why did the Holy Lord and the Center turn a blind eye to the danger that could be seen by all? ”

Pei Shiju didn't say a word.

Of course, the Holy Lord and the Central Committee will not underestimate the severity of the situation, but the situation has reached this point, and the Holy Lord and the reformers have no better choice but to take risks. Now that the core contradiction between reform and conservatism has exploded, and the two hostile sides have fought bloodily and will not stop fighting, if the Holy Lord and the reformers compromise and retreat, there will be only one result, not only to lose the ruling power, but also to lose their lives, so they can only fight to the end, even if the Civil War is about to explode, the Holy Lord and the reformers will fight to the death, and there is no way to retreat at all.

Li Fengyun "chased and fought fiercely", and his words were not shocking and endless, "Don't the Holy Lord and the Central Center know that the prerequisite for winning the Civil War is the unity of the two capitals and domestic stability?" If the two capitals confront each other, the country is chaotic, and it is very difficult for Middle-earth to win the war, once the war is lost, the Great Wall defense line is lost, the portal is open, and the northern captives invade frequently, it will inevitably exacerbate and worsen the domestic situation, and the Holy Lord and the center will fall into the belly and back of the enemy, and have to fight on two fronts, how to turn the tide at that time? Once the country is in jeopardy, the great cause of reunification falls apart, and division and war sweep the world, who will save Middle-earth? ”

Pei Shiju finally wavered, he could tolerate the confrontation between the two capitals and domestic chaos, but he could not accept the collapse of the great cause of reunification, however, as Li Fengyun analyzed and deduced, if the situation was allowed to uncontrollably unfold, it would be difficult for Middle-earth to win the Civil War, and once the Civil War was lost, the Great Wall was lost, and the Northern Capture invaded every year, it would be a terrible nightmare for the great cause of the reunification of Middle-earth.

After Pei Shiju weighed it carefully, he resolutely made a decision.

"I don't believe in Li Fengyun, but I believe in Li Pingyuan."
